Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes with Truffle Oil Recipe

These Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes with Truffle Oil are a special treat when you’re looking to dress up your mashed potatoes. Cauliflower is the secret ingredient to making these mashed potatoes lower in carbohydrates and a little bit healthier.
I’ve made these special Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes with Truffle Oil for special occasions as a treat. Using truffle oil is definitely a trick since almost anything tastes good with it. You can find truffle oil at many supermarkets and stores, including Costco’s and even Home Goods.

I’ve been mixing cauliflower and potatoes together for mashed potatoes to make them healthier – think of it as two vegetables in one. I know some people use 100% cauliflower and call it mashed potatoes, but I find the consistency lacks the starchiness that people expect when they take a bite of mashed potatoes. You don’t need a lot of potato to get the right consistency, but I’m all about making sure my kids eating healthy, while loving every bite.

I use a little butter from grass-fed cows, which is supposed to contain the X Factor according to Dr. Weston Price (now believed to be vitamin K2). According to the Weston A Price Foundation, “Vitamin K2 is important for the utilization of minerals, protects against tooth decay, supports growth and development, is involved in normal reproduction, protects against calcification of the arteries leading to heart disease, and is a major component of the brain.”

Instructions

Bring large pot of water to boil. Add cauliflower and potatoes; cook 15 minutes or until tender. Drain well. Place in mixing bowl and add milk and butter; beat until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle in white truffle oil.

Beautiful! Jeanette this is one fabulous recipe. I love that you combined both cauliflower and potatoes in this mashed side dish treat with truffle oil! Genius. Thanks for sharing. Pinning (of course)!

Hi Jeanette
This is a very nice way to eat masdhed potatoes, I usually add garlic and olive oil to mine.
Also I like the addition of truffle oil which certainly imparts a distinctive flavor to this dish.

Interesting! My sister make a mashed cauliflower with butter recipe over Thanksgiving last year. It was creative and healthy, but lacked the richness that I was used to with mashed potatoes. I like the idea of adding a bit of potatoes to this!

Hello there, just found your blog on a tangent, searching for sous vide recipes.

I wanted to share with you a slightly different take on mashed cauliflower that results in a puree as smooth and as perfect in texture as a “real” potato concoction. I am not interested in low carbing or anything like that, but simply love the lighter flavor of cauliflower as a side dish.

if you want to take a look, here is a link to the recipe as I published a few years ago:
